For the purposes of this chapter, the term "special event" shall
be deemed to include any walkathon, bikeathon or jogging group, block
party or other organized group having a common purpose or goal, proceeding
along a public street or other public right-of-way in the Township
of Teaneck.

Application to conduct such special event shall be made to the
Chief of Police, in writing, by the person or persons in charge or
responsible therefor. Such application shall set forth the following
information:

Such other information as the police chief may deem necessary in
order to properly provide for traffic control, street and property
maintenance and the protection of the public health, safety and welfare.

If the chief of police shall find that the special event is
not to be held for any unlawful purpose and will not in any manner
tend to a breach of the peace or unnecessarily interfere with the
public use of the streets and sidewalks, he shall recommend issuance
of such permit by the Township manager or, for reasons stated, shall
recommend that the requested permit be denied. After giving consideration
to the recommendations of the chief of police, the final determination
as to whether or not a permit shall be issued shall be made by the
Township manager.

No such permit shall be issued for a special event unless application
has been made not less than ten days in advance of the date on which
said special event is sought to be held. No such event shall commence
earlier than 8:00 A.M. nor continue beyond the hour of 10:00 P.M.
of the same day. All directional signs erected in connection with
the special event shall be removed within twenty-four hours of the
termination of the event.

Any permit granted under this chapter may contain conditions
reasonably calculated to reduce or minimize dangers and hazards to
vehicular or pedestrian traffic and the public health, safety and
welfare, including but not limited to changes in time, duration or
number of participants.

Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:67-16.9, for the purpose of carrying out the preceding sections of this chapter, the Township Council authorizes the Township Manager to provide, by regulation, for the closing of any street, or portion thereof, to motor vehicle traffic on any day or days or during specified hours on any day or days whenever he/she finds that such closing is necessary for the preservation of the public safety, health or welfare. Any regulations promulgated by the Township Manager pursuant to the authority of this section shall provide for the posting of proper warning signs of such closing in any street, or portion thereof, during the time the same is closed. The penalty for the violation of this section or any regulations promulgated pursuant thereto shall be as contained in Section 1-6, General penalty, of the Teaneck Township Code.
